Fairbrother, Minnie M. (1871 - 1872)

Died, at Neillsville, May 25, 1872, Minnie M. only daughter of Alfred G. and Mary Fairbrother, aged 10 months and 25 days.

On her bosom she folded her snow white hands,
And bodily entered the phantom barque,
We left it guid from the slivery sands,
And all out sunshine grew strangely dark,
But we know she is safe on the other shore
Where aft the ransomed angels be,
Over the river, the mystic river,
My angel child is waiting for me.
